Nocturnal's Profile

Bio time! I usually postpone writing a profile as it is never easy to provide a relevant description of one's self, to be an object and a subject at the same time can be a somewhat disorienting experience.

I am a literature student and fairly new to anime. My experience is rather limited but I am working to change that and to learn as much as possible. I have a rather nagging tendency to over think issues and I greatly enjoy studying any particular subject that catches my attention. Apart from being something of a book worm I am also a wannabe singer, having had classical singing lessons for a few years.

I am currently in the process of writing a novel that will probably never see the light of day. Either way, writing is immensely rewarding and I could not quite cope without it. I will probably get around to writing anime reviews in a near future, it is but a matter of getting the hang of crafting a minimally professional critique in that particular area.

I suppose I have a weird side to me as I collect bunny items (one of my pets happens to be a rather wild rabbit. Not fuzzy and nice as these animals are usually perceived, my bunny, Helvete, will happilly kick people she dislikes and is at her happiest when hopping away from human contact) and have a rather extravagant taste in clothes (it is akin to Misa's from Death Note). I tend to be shy but am friendly when approached.

	rah-rah | 09-03-08, 2:40 PM ....you're joking right? After all that DRAMA to get her she just says "Oh fuck you I'm a bitch"? God. I think Geass R2's trainwreckness fails in comparison to that. And yes, Kitty Graham is on the way. Prepare the cabana boys :p Reply - Anime - Manga

	maarika | 08-12-08, 6:35 AM Glad you liked! :3 It was a lot of fun to make. Reply - Anime - Manga

	maarika | 08-10-08, 11:42 PM Ask and ye shall receive! http://maarika.deviantart.com/art/Haibane-Dennou-Coil-cosplay-94307583 I couldn't resist including Reki and Rakka there as well. :P Reply - Anime - Manga

maarika | 08-08-08, 9:05 PM I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that way! If Isako and Yasako had ended up together and become best friends or something along the line, I think it would have cheapened the whole thing. The way it ended was perfect, as you said. It somehow made it more worthwhile or realistic and actually had a point in it. As for Dennou Coil girl with halos and wings, I could arrange something. In fact, I've had some crossover ideas and there's never too much Dennou Coil fanart! :3 Reply - Anime - Manga

maarika | 08-06-08, 10:00 PM It reminded me of Haibane Renmei A LOT. Isako/Yasako parallel is so much like Reki/Rakka in Haibane. Aside from the psychological/emotional aspect there's also the symbolic nature of their names. And Yasako totally looks like Rakka when she takes off her glasses. :P (Needs a halo and wings though). I think what really made me love Dennou Coil was the way the series was composed. The comedy and drama were perfectly balanced, I highly appreciate things like that. In this aspect, Haibane was not bad either though not as good as Dennou Coil in my opinion. Both are unique series. <3 I only wish there was more stuff like that out there. *sigh* Reply - Anime - Manga

maarika | 08-06-08, 9:35 AM I don't have a life either but I still can't find so much time to watch anime. I think I'm fairly new to anime stuff too but I've also realised I can be quite picky about what I watch, so I haven't watched all that much. :P But you're right, Utena does get better with every re-watch! I'm in the middle of the Black Rose arc, so I'm not finished yet. But right now I just finished re-watching Dennou Coil. <3 It makes me sad that such an awesome show is so underrated.
